Comparing DNA metabarcoding with morphology in the assessment of macrozoobenthos in Portuguese transitional waters in the scope of the Water Framework Directive monitoring

This study compares DNA metabarcoding and morphology for assessing macrozoobenthos in Portuguese transitional waters, finding metabarcoding detects more species and includes cryptic lineages and smaller groups.
